one of the great bits in 'Always On My Mind' is the repetition of the chorus line backed by the huge ascending string crescendo - really gives the sense of the whole audacity and epic scale of the sentiment and the importance of the message.

Can You Forgive Her, What Have I Done To Deserve This, Rent. Bloody hell. At the time Heart felt like such a let down, it was a weak album track, it felt like a weaker single. In retrospect I still think it was weak for the PSBs, but still pretty good. DJ Culture still baffles me.
Should I go back and get Bilingual? I've got Release now and it's, well, OK.

Kate Bush comes close too but her 19th and 20th singles aren't great.

Julio I really like the early Beatles = great!!! idea, I just don't like the sound of Merseybeat, it's so organic.

Agreed.
Strongo - you're right HL's 13-20 is weaker overall, but there's nothing as good as Tell Me When, Human, Louise, or Life on Your Own in PSB's 13-20.
PSB's 1-9 is almost overwhelmingly great, but what I like about the HL singles is that you get the progression from bedroom bleeps to monster hits to being Jam & Lewis's playthings to waking up one day in 1994 and remembering that they are in fact still the greatest band ever and PROVING IT BEYOND DOUBT AGAIN (Tell Me When). And it's all good.

Dr C - Can You Forgive Her? is better than anything the League ever did except maybe Love Action.
(Heh this is like a really stupidly high level D&D game - yeah well my 93rd level fighter could cream your 87th level cleric etc etc)
